Treason — Rick Campbell

A military coup in Russia leads to a swift invasion of former Soviet territories -- while the U.S. has been rendered powerless to respond -- in this classic military technothriller.

In Russia, the military is anxious to assert its military strength and regain its role as a superpower. The Russian President refuses to greenlight a bold plan to disable American strategic nuclear capability and retake the Ukraine and the Baltic States, fearing the potential consequences of involving nuclear weapons. But the generals won't have it and at their first opportunity, they overthrow the president in a military coup. Then they use a narrow window to initiate their bold plan -- the Zolotov option -- which will render all of America's B2 bombers and ballistic missiles useless. With the U.S. off the board, they swiftly invade the Ukraine with an overwhelming force, an invading Army that even NATO can't hope to resist.

Now, it's game on. Without their primary weapons, the U.S. has to find a way to fight back on multiple fronts. If they're to have any chance, they'll have to overcome the malware that has grounded their ballistic missiles and planes, as well as to secretly land a SEAL team to help rescue the imprisoned Russian President, and help retake control from the forces that are driving Europe into a continental war.
